A versatile 4.99m pop-top campervan for urban and rural use.
The Coachman Randger R499 is a compact 4.99m pop-top campervan designed for versatility, functioning as both a daily driver and a four-berth leisure vehicle. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM, it features a rear bench bed, an elevating roof bed, and a 680kg payload. It is equipped with diesel heating and a 41-litre fridge, though it lacks a dedicated washroom.
- Compact 4.99m length suitable for standard parking bays.
- Four-berth capacity via a rear bench bed and elevating roof bed.
- Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM.
- Kitchen equipped with a 41-litre compressor fridge and two-burner hob.
- Webasto diesel heating and a 55-litre fresh water tank for off-grid use.
Worth knowing: The 4.99m length results in limited internal storage for extended trips. There is no dedicated washroom or shower cubicle in this layout. The living area may feel restricted when occupied by four adults.
Buying a Coachman Randger R499
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a high-quality compact vehicle that fits in standard parking spaces.
- Small families requiring four travel seats and four berths in a sub-five-metre footprint.
- Urban dwellers who need a motorhome that can double as a daily vehicle.
Reasons to consider it
- The 680kg payload is substantial for a vehicle of this size.
- Coachman interior finishes provide a high-quality environment.
- The 2.03m height allows for easier access to height-restricted areas compared to coachbuilt models.
What to check
- Verify the operation of the elevating roof mechanism and canvas condition.
- Confirm the specific engine output and gearbox type on the Fiat Ducato chassis.
- Check the condition of the rear bench bed conversion mechanism.
- Inspect the Webasto diesel heating system for recent service history.
Worth knowing: The absence of a washroom requires reliance on external site facilities. Internal storage is prioritised for short-term rather than long-term touring.
Compare the Coachman Randger R499 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coachman Randger R499 | 4 | 3500 kg | 4.99 m | £52,000 to £72,000 |
| Panama P/12 | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.97 m | £48,000 to £59,000 |
| Auto-Trail Expedition 67 140BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £48,000 to £62,000 |
The Coachman Randger R499 occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a 4.99m length and car-like handling. While alternatives like the Panama P/12 offer a lighter 3000kg MTPLM, the Randger provides a 3500kg MTPLM and a 680kg payload. Larger alternatives such as the Auto-Trail Expedition 67 or Benimar Tessoro T840 offer more internal living space and washroom facilities but sacrifice the R499's ability to fit into standard parking bays.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel captain's chairs to maximise the lounge area when parked.
- Monitor the 55-litre fresh water tank levels during off-grid stays.
- Regularly clean the LED mood lighting fixtures to maintain the cabin ambience.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a washroom is included; this model uses a compact kitchen-centric layout without a cubicle.
- Overloading the 41-litre fridge for long trips without frequent restocking.
Worth knowing: The 2.03m height may still exceed some very low multi-storey car park limits. Payload must be managed carefully if carrying four passengers and full water tanks.
Alternatives to the Coachman Randger R499

- Auto-Trail Expedition 67 140BHP Auto - For buyers requiring more internal space, the Auto-Trail Expedition 67 provides four berths in a longer 5.99m van conversion format.
- Auto-Sleepers Broadway Ek Tb Lp - The Auto-Sleepers Broadway Ek Tb Lp is a coachbuilt alternative for those prioritising a 6.35m length over the compact 4.99m footprint of the Randger.
